Love GNR! Funny fact, when we got Jaguars season tickets for their inaugural seasons, I was lobbying for Welcome to the Jungle to be the Jaguars run out song - thought it would be absolutely perfect. Well, we were there, and guess what - yep - Welcome to the Jungle played very loudly, to raucous cheers, as the Jags ran onto the field. It was such a perfect moment, standing in the crowd, great seats, great music and a new home team to root for.

How cool that the Jaguars were using this GnR song! It's great when sports teams pick just the perfect song.

One of my favorite British bands, the Stone Roses, who are from Manchester, have Manchester United using their song "This Is The One"- my favorite Stone Roses song.

Video from a game against Liverpool (you can't hear the song till about 20 seconds in):

We used Welcome to the Jungle too, and lots of AC/DC. Commercials are for dancing!

Do you still go to games?

Husband refused to go anymore because of constant losses, so when my daughter moved to Brazil and I had no one to go with me, I gave up the tickets. That was 6 years ago. My daughter and her husband have had season tickets since they moved back from Brazil.

I like his using the synth for the guitar solo.
Plus he's a strong performer. It's harder to play piano standing up than it looks.
He's good at it.

Both talented and obviously loving what he's doing.

I've watched that video several times since stumbling across it. Sheer joy.
